  No, I was too focused on just that one line,
  not paying attention to the global context.

  Maybe you can pass the globals which should contain the name
  "count_lsb":

timeit.timeit("count_lsb(1 << 125)", globals=globals())

  . The optional "globals" argument specifies a namespace in
  which to execute the code.

  You could also try the pattern,

start_time = timeit.default_timer()
count_lsb(1<<125)
dt = timeit.default_timer() - start_time

  . However, when "count_lsb(1<<125)` is very fast, the results
  might be less accurate. (You can ask your chatbot about
  "pitfalls of microbenchmarks in Python".)
